3 We look forward to seeing you This year we hope you will join us to celebrate Chatsworth Renewed: The house past, present and future. This exhibition marks the end of the largest restoration project ever undertaken at Chatsworth and we look forward to sharing many of the hidden stories and forgotten features which we discovered along the way. We are also delighted to welcome Linder Sterling as our inaugural artist-in-residence, and in 2018 invite visitors to explore some of the pieces she has created during her residency. In addition, we will unveil the newest artwork in the Devonshire Collection a specially commissioned ceramic installation by Natasha Daintry. With so many exciting events and exhibitions to discover, as well as old favourites including the Dodson & Horrell Chatsworth International Horse Trials and the Chatsworth Country Fair, we hope you will enjoy visiting us many times over the coming year. The Royal Horticultural Society Chatsworth Flower Show returns in June to delight our green fingered visitors. The show blends tradition with unexpected, innovative design and we are delighted to provide the backdrop and inspiration for such a ground-breaking event. Every day brings something different at Chatsworth whether you re here to admire the splendour of the house, explore the garden, meet the animals in the farmyard, enjoy afternoon tea and shopping in the stables or at the award-winning Chatsworth Estate Farm Shop in Pilsley we hope that every time you leave, something else will inspire you to return. We look forward to welcoming you. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire
